Area V5 of the visual brain, first identified anatomically in 1969 as a separate visual area, is
critical for the perception of visual motion. As one of the most intensively studied parts of the …

This review provides an update on Neurorepresentationalism, a theoretical framework that
defines conscious experience as multimodal, situational survey and explains its neural basis …

Visual brain areas exhibit tuning characteristics well suited for image statistics present in our
natural environment. However, visual sensation is an active process, and if there are any …

Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) or its immediate afferents results in a dense
scotoma, termed cortical blindness (CB). CB subjects have residual visual abilities, or …

Stroke damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) causes a loss of vision known as
hemianopia or cortically-induced blindness. While perimetric visual field improvements can …

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are a class of machine learning models
predominately used in computer vision tasks and can achieve human-like performance …

Whether the visual brain uses a parallel or a serial, hierarchical, strategy to process visual
signals, the end result appears to be that different attributes of the visual scene are …

Response bias (or criterion) contamination is insidious in studies of consciousness: that
observers report they do not see a stimulus may not mean they have absolutely no …

Phillips argues that blindsight is due to response criterion artifacts under degraded
conscious vision. His view provides alternative explanations for some studies, but may not …

A neuroscientifically informed theory arguing that the core of qualitative conscious
experience arises from the integration of sensory and cognitive modalities. Although science …
